It’s understood that a basement where chemicals for the maintenance of the pool are stored has flooded.

Efforts are underway to pump water out of the basement before fire crews wearing specialist chemical protection suits can undertake a further investigation to see whether the chemicals have reacted with the water.

After fire crews carried out an inspection of the basement, high levels of gas were detected.

Additional units of the fire brigade from Shannon Town have now arrived at the scene to assist with the operation.
